About to Get Wet...Again...
It certainly seems like it's rained a lot this month and while we have had two good sized rain events, we actually are running slightly below normal for rainfall in the month of November. That's about to change with another soaking on the way. This time around this wave will be a quick mover, in in the evening out in the morning. There is enough moisture and just enough forcing for some lighter rain or showers to break out ahead of the main slug. The low center will take an inside track, milder air will flow in out ahead of the storm but due to some shallow cooler air we won't really feel it until it is on its way out Wednesday afternoon when temps will clear 60 on a gusty SW wind with partial clearing. A secondary front with colder air will charge through late Wednesday advecting cold air for the remainder of the workweek. With the downsloping NW flow, expect lots of sunshine both Thursday and Friday but highs will be in the lower 50s on Thursday and close to 10 degrees colder on Friday.
Temps will rebound slightly over the weekend with a low pressure area flying by to our north but the rebound will be slight and short lived as the associated coldfront will slip through late on Saturday chilling us down into the 40s again for the finish of the weekend.
The cold high will sit on top of us Sunday night before moving offshore on Monday, but it will leave behind a very cold shallow layer and the GFS presents an interesting scenario for Monday morning. There definitely is a cold air damming signature and with some overrunning precip getting into the area there could be some light icing or sleet...a long way off but something that has caught my eye...we'll see.
